Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips plus more to top the avocado bread with before baking

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven and prep the pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x5” loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Blend the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mash together the avocado, egg, and vanilla. Do not overmix, it’s OK if it has a chunky texture. Stir in the mashed bananas.
  • Blend the dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Combine. Stir the dry flour mixture into the avocado mixture. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with more semisweet chocolate chips.
  • Bake. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.

Notes

  1. To ripen your avocado quickly, place it in a paper bag along with a banana. You can also use this same method to ripen bananas. Just place them alone in a paper bag. This will help ripen up your fruit in 24-36 hours.
  2. Dense breads like this one need to be mixed lightly. Don't use a hand mixer. A wooden spoon will work just fine. If needed, use a spatula.
